So, Its not quite a tank, or a truck, but its got a tank, and its got 4 wheels, so its a truck of a kind! ITS A FIRE TRUCK! Specifically, the A/S-32 P-19 series of vehicles were one of the most succesful and long lasting firefighting vehicles fielded by all services. Started in the early 1980s, Oshkosh built these trucks in 3 versions. The version you see here is actually an Air Force version, but I am going to paint it to represent a vehicle near and dear to me.... In 1990/91, I was assigned to MCAS New River NC during ODS/S. The P-19A was the Marine Corps version of this truck. It has a structural pump panel on the side and a manual roof turret.
I have always wanted a scale model of these fine pieces of rescue firefighting equipment, and USAFLine, a small company in England specializing in 1/72 resin accessories has come through BIG TIME for me. What you see here are a few shots of the progress I am making towards my very own P-19 (the numbers will be 22 on the side).
and just for a little humor......
Media is Very finely molded resin
Brass Photo Etch
White Metal accessories
Very nicely made decals
Coming together with a little work, and I bought two so the next one will benefit from some much needed attention in the cab.
More to come!
